Collings OM1A Hill Country Sunburst - Adirondack Spruce & Figured Honduran Mahogany #36897

The Collings OM1A Hill Country Sunburst is an extraordinary expression of vintage inspiration refined through modern craftsmanship. Built with a premium Adirondack spruce top and Figured Honduran mahogany back and sides, this Orchestra Model delivers exceptional clarity, responsiveness, and dynamic range. Enhanced by the exclusive Hill Country Build and Voicing package, the guitar produces a dry, open character with remarkable warmth, articulate midrange, and impressive projection that recalls the finest prewar instruments. The Hill Country scalloped X-bracing, paired with Sitka spruce braces and an abbreviated soundboard graft, allows every note to bloom effortlessly with exceptional balance, making the OM1A equally inspiring for delicate fingerstyle passages and dynamic flatpicked playing.

The elegant Hill Country Sunburst finish highlights the Adirondack spruce top beneath an ultra thin high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, while the Figured Honduran mahogany body glows with rich natural beauty under a matching high gloss finish. Thoughtfully appointed throughout, the guitar features tortoise body binding, ebony fingerboard binding, a hand poured tortoise pickguard with matching rosette ring, wedge, and heel cap, and a classic Style 1 walnut backstrip. The understated ebony peghead veneer is intentionally left free of a front logo, with the Collings stamp discreetly placed on the back, creating a refined vintage aesthetic that allows the craftsmanship and premium tonewoods to speak for themselves.

Designed for exceptional comfort and long term performance, the Honduran mahogany neck features the optional Hill Country Small Neck profile, a Vintage Now full C carve with beautifully rounded fingerboard edges that provides a familiar, broken in feel from the very first chord. Measuring approximately .861 inch at the 1st fret and .979 inch at the 9th fret, with slight variations resulting from the hand carved construction, the neck offers a substantial yet effortlessly comfortable grip. Combined with a 1 3/4 inch aged bone nut, a compound 14 to 26 inch ebony fingerboard radius, and a 25 1/2 inch scale length, the OM1A delivers outstanding playability across the entire fretboard. An ebony belly bridge with a cutthrough aged bone saddle, relic nickel Waverly tuners, and a fully adjustable truss rod ensure exceptional tuning stability and precision. Strung with D'Addario EJ-16 strings and protected by a deluxe hardshell case, this remarkably lightweight instrument weighs just 3 pounds 14 ounces, offering an exceptionally resonant playing experience that embodies the legendary craftsmanship, tonal sophistication, and understated elegance for which Collings is renowned.
